Ordered some original Russian uniforms from DGBakery. (At great expense) 2007 FSB Government Contract Sniper Suit 56/58-6 SOBR Black Moss Suit with Patches.

First delivery of repro Zenitco parts for the Krink arrived today. Extremely excited for this all to come together, fingers crossed fitting the hand guard won’t be too much of a pain! And y’know, praying the Krink itself turns up at some point when it’s released from the clutches of UPS.

Well here are my first two rifs. Got a game booked for 10th April, can’t wait to try them out. Also have a ASG mk23 but that’s still with the mail man, hopefully getting delivered tomorrow.

WiP but now you know one of the possibilities when you buy a pink Bizon ! ??

Finally found an airsoft version of the SA80 Bayonet. It fits my ICS L85A2 with repro Surefire flash hider and in theory I should still be able to fire with it on the rifle although I suspect it will largely live in a sheath. Now I just need to get a surplus MTP sheath for it and the black plastic component (think it's referred to as a bayonet frog?). Once I've sorted out the sheath I guess I'll finally sort out my comm's and a batch of new mag's for my L85.

Hi-capa carbine kit with new stock. Nice and compact for travel on a motor bike

Took the new girlfriend home to meet the family. The kids love her and my folks think she is great. The wife's not too impressed though! ? Regards

That's a really neat idea. Cheaper than my plan of buying a scorpion just for spring testing

Well, since I had a few springs lying around I finally decided to making a spring power measuring device... Using a luggage scale you hold and pull on the orange hose fitting up to the orange line (piston length). The scale holds the measurement so you can read it when it beeps. Takes a few goes to get an average reading but I compared readings of known spring strengths with a friend who uses a slightly different method and our readings do correlate. I will try to find an M10 bolt that only has threading at the top to make the pull smoother.

Could not agree with you more. Had the Mk18 on my PTW for years and would just not go back. Now if somebody doesn't like the looks, that is fair enough but it works on the 'technical' side and handles a lot better. Both PTW and MWS now carry the rail, one has the short and one the long. HAO has worked wonders considering the price (not talking about their body kits here, which are ace but expensive. I will keep the original TM receiver on the MWS for a little while yet. The PTW has a HAO upper and lower now)

Mine update from 'Import Scan' to 'Clearance Completed' on the 20th but haven't had any further updates since. Scheduled delivery still shows as March 15th 2021, so that's good ?.

The arrival of my Ferro Mini Dangler and Crye Stretch Flap sees both of my chest rigs finished (at least for now). The AirLite is set up for when I’m running an AR or AK74, the Microfight is setup for running pistol only in CQB or my VSR (turns out Spiritus Pistol inserts take VSR mags pretty nicely). And a Vortex Crossfire, pair of NGRS mags and a Laylax NGRS wrench for my birthday from my long suffering girlfriend.

Hey, I just wanted to report that I managed to get the SAA mags leak free by merging the two halfs with steel araldite. The o ring was removed, contact surfaces roughened and the rod removed. The side body screw which holds the rod was set in place with araldite. Whereas the bottom threads were blocked with a cross threaded screw + araldite. All contact surfaces were oil free and treated with spirits before the araldite treatment. The mag in question was filled with gas sometime in November 2020 and has had no leaks since. A bit of a job to get it done but nevertheless, might be worth the effort or a fitting lockdown activity to some.

Well, i decided "fuck it, whats another £170-odd on my credit card" and bought myself an S&T M320 grenade launcher. Mounted it on my tippmann via a set of m-lok to picatinny rail adapters i bought a couple of months ago. I did find that the launcher had a lot of wobble on the rails, so i found a pair of screws in my toolbox at work and used them to pin the launcher... just need to trim them down a few mm and paint them black so they dont stand out. Edit. also set up an account with enola gaye, and will be ordering some pyro from them next week

Tune up kit for my cm.702 sniper.

My little collection

I felt the same until I tried it. It feels very skinny and unobtrusive in the hand, it weighs less, and it seems to me to be ergonomically superior. I struggle to use the old RIS style now, it just feels like I'm tring to manipulate the gun whilst its attached to a clunky cheese grater. Whilst the mk18 had certain real steel advantages due to heat dissipation, these are not relevant in airsoft. I really like Magpul as an innovative modern business, and their R&D on M Lok was superb. I remember getting one of the early MOE handguards for my PTW about 10 years ago and liking it's 'high speed, low drag' ergonomics, and what Geissele have done with that concept is refine it further. HAO have done an excellent job again at making it affordable for airsoft. Firm handshakes all round.

If you wanna make your MWS suuuper heavy, go get yourself a Vortex! Christ it adds a chunk..I need to start doing pull ups! I HATE the tan (rose gold) mount so have another on the way and an arisaka offset to mount my t1...then I am done! maybe...kinda...ish.

For all the Oldies on here, this is the equivalent to settling an argument on Goldeneye. Temple, Slaps only, no Oddjob.

Finally got around to chopping the barrel and fitting the new flash hider. Definitely a lot more usable in close quarters now!

i dunno, no matter how much you push the envelope it'll still be stationary...... can't figure out spoiler tags so here's another essay for everyone to scroll past and not read: whilst we are all well aware of the events of Cinderella, her encounter with the fairy godmother and marrying a handsome prince. what is not well known is after the somewhat unconventional events of her youth her life was mostly unremarkable, serving as the roles of attentive wife to her husband who by dint of being a second child never had the chance to take up the crown. however happily ever after only lasts so long and eventually the prince died, a peaceful death but a tragedy nonetheless leaving Cinderella a widow whose common upbringing saw her shipped off out of the royal court to live the rest of her days in quiet solitude. it is here one day, we find Cinderella, time having taken its toll, an old woman sitting in her rocking chair on the porch of a little cottage, quietly knitting while a cat she'd taken to calling bob rested contently on the windowsill. as she's sitting there, her mind idly wondering, she finds herself thinking about time, and how after life seemed to be so much shorter these days. suddenly there's a gentle tinkling noise, subtle, but a noise that nonetheless cut through the silence like a razor and went straight into her mind. there it swooshed it's way through memories almost forgotten to the mists of time until, there. that was it. she looks up "it's been a long time" she says, as if greeting an old friend. "indeed my child it has" replies the fairy godmother "why have you come?" asks Cinderalla calmly. "you have lived a long and exemplary life" says the godmother "your charitable works and your political campaigns to aid those in need have been a shining beacon of hope for the poor of this land. and yet the king has so callously cast you out for fear of some imagined shame it might bring to his house" "the king has his ways, but he is not so bad" replies Cinderalla "that is as may be, but by way of recompense, i would once again like to offer you 3 wishes. is there anything your heart still yearns for?" Cinderella sits there quitely, pondering this opportunity, the wisdom of age tempering the youthful memories seeing the godmother again had stirred. eventually she speaks "the king is not so bad, and my life here is quiet and peaceful, but with time the maintenance of this place has become too much for me and it would be so very handy to pay some local men from the village to fix it up again" "certainly my dear" says the fairy godmother, and with a flick of her arm and a somewhat underwhelming "poof", the world seemed unchanged. silence decended, but not normal silence, this silence was louder than usual because a noise that had been there before was now gone- the creaking of the rocking chair had ceased for it was no longer made of wood, but solid gold. "what is your second wish?" asks the fairy godmother again cinderella ponders getting to her feat and pacing slowly around the room. "you know, i can't remember a time now when there wasn't some creaking in my bones, fog in my sight or pain in my joints. i'd like to feel the energy of youth again, if only for a day" again the subtle flick of the wand, only this time the magic is so much more dramatic as a swirling fog envelops Cinderella hiding her from view. when the fog clears cinderella is once again young, her mind unchanged yet she stood the picture of radiant beauty and youth she had been the last time she crossed paths with the fairy godmother. "and your third wish?" asks the fairy godmother once again the response is delayed, but this time it is not caused by careful contemplation. the funny thing about minds is how like water fills a glass and takes it shape so too does thought fill a body. Cinderella, remembering a long life well lived but with feelings long since forgotten now stirring points to the cat and says "this stray has been my faithful companion for many years, i love him like i once loved my dear prince charming, could you transform him into a kind and handsome young man like you once did with those mice?" "of course" says the fairy godmother the cat, sensing attention half-opens an eye to survey the room. his gaze somewhat distracted when once again the flick of the want, the swoosh of fog, and a gentle "poof" as the fairy godmother dissappears. before the fog even clears clears the cat, now a grown man naked as the day he was born, emerges sweeping cinderella up into his arms with a grace that would ordinarily take years of ballet training to acheive. he stares deep into Cinderella's eyes and leans down as if to kiss her, but instead he gently whispers: "i bet now you're wishing you hadn't had me neutered"

So this butcher is in his shop working away when a dog, carrying a basket casually walks in and jumps up onto the counter. The butcher goes to shoo him away but before he can the dog points with his paw into the basket at a list for some meat. This gets the butchers attention, so he picks up the list and reads off the items which are followed by a note that reads ‘please can you put all this in the basket, the right money is in a pouch on the dogs collar’. Right on cue the dog lifts his head and points at a small pouch which as it turns out has the right money in it. Once all the bits were in the basket the dog nods his thanks and leaves with the basket in his mouth again. The butcher is stunned. If I could have a dog like that he thinks, it could do my deliveries, even perform on the stage! So he shuts up shop and follows the creature, during which time he sees him visit several other shops, have a pint at the pub and even use a zebra crossing, wow, thinks the butcher, this dog is something else! Then finally the dog arrives at a house, he opens the front gate and lets himself in with his paws and goes up to the front door and knocks waiting to be let in. Suddenly though the door flies open and a man appears, giving the dog a massive bollocking, calling him useless and dumb, the butcher, confused at this, runs up to them and exclaims ‘why are you bollocking this dog? The things I’ve seen him do, he’s amazing!’ ‘Amazing? fuck off!’ Laughs the man, ‘This is the third time he’s forgotten his keys this week!’
